SCOR Life & Health Ventures has made a strategic investment in HumanAPI, a San Francisco-based company that enables consumers to share their health data with the people and organizations that help them manage their health. This partnership supports SCOR Global Life’s value proposition of empowering people to make the best possible health decisions using their own medical data and of making Life insurance more accessible by streamlining the underwriting process.

HumanAPI’s platform allows users to access, centralize and share their health data from all sources, be it their medical records, pharmacy data, lab results or their wearable device data. Through granted access, enterprises – such as healthcare providers and insurance carriers – can improve patient safety and manage costs through replacing medical exams and improving underwriting models.

“SCOR Global Life seeks to extend protection and peace of mind and to make life insurance more accessible, relevant and desirable to consumers. We look to build solutions with our insurance clients that enable them to provide their customers with a simpler, faster buying experience” said Brona Magee, Deputy CEO of SCOR Global Life. “This partnership with Human API supports our efforts to accelerate the underwriting process through electronic health data and automated decision making. Human API is in a unique position to transform health data exchange and create innovation opportunities across the healthcare and insurance ecosystem.”
